You looked over to see Undyne, one of the monsters that had dined at Harvey's a few days back. If you remembered correctly, she was Alphys' girlfriend. She and her girlfriend were the couple that gave you that very generous tip. You made a mental note to thank her.
She had her red hair up in a messy bun and she was dressed in a long white lab coat with a black tank underneath. She was roughly Papyrus' height, maybe a bit shorter.
"i wasn't planning on getting up so early but, sans thought it'd be a great day to 'rise and shine' at five in the morning." Papyrus replied as he yawned sleepily.
"S-Sans t-told me you were having problems with n-nightmares... I-is there any way I can h-help?" Undyne asked as she fiddled with her fingers nervously.
"nah, i'm good." Papyrus responded as he took another sip of his honey.
"oh, this is my friend (y/n) by the way." He added as he gestured to you.
You waved and she adjusted her glasses as she looked at you shyly. "H-haven't we m-met before?" She stuttered out.
You nodded, "I was your waitress at Harvey's the other day." you responded.
"oh, she was your waitress? how was her service?" Papyrus asked Undyne mischievously.
You knew why he was asking this, he wanted to know if you had been kind to them. He was still trying to figure out who you were as a person. He wanted to know if you were really a monster hater or if you were just a normal person who got mixed up with the wrong crowd. You could tell that he hoped it was the latter. You hoped it was the latter as well, but you still haven't decided your standing on the issue yet.
"I-it was great... A-Alphys and I enjoyed it so much t-that we gave her a v-very good t-tip." Undyne responded with a faint blush.
"About that, thank you very much! I'm tight on money so that generous tip helped a lot." You told her with a smile.
"O-oh! It's n-no problem at all... Alphys said she r-really thought you looked like y-you deserved some extra c-cash." She responded as she looked over at the wall.
"Well, please tell her that I said thank you!'" You replied before you happily took another sip of your mocha.
Undyne nodded nervously and looked back to Papyrus, "S-sorry for interrupting your talk...I just uh... Sorry..." She apologized.
"don't sweat it undyne, i don't mind." Papyrus responded.
"W-well... That's g-good! N-now excuse me, I need t-to place an order." Undyne responded as she slipped away and walked to the counter.
"cya undyne," Papyrus responded.
Papyrus turned his gaze back to you, "what was the 'very good' tip?" he asked curiously as he looked into your (e\c) eyes.
"That's a bit personal, don't you think?" You replied with a lifted eyebrow.
"nah, i don't think so." He spoke with a shrug of his shoulders.
You took a deep breath "Thirty-five dollars."
"hm, that was very generous." He replied as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a dispenser of toothpicks. He shook the container and one fell into his palm. He placed it into his mouth and put the container back into his pocket.
You looked over to the doors to see a taller man, not as tall as Papyrus but still very tall enter the café with a confident stride. He looked to be in his mid-thirties and he had nice features. He was dressed well in a black suit and he ran his hand through his graying brown hair, he grinned as he walked straight towards you.
Papyrus seemed to notice him almost immediately and he watched as the man confidently walked over. "ya know him, kiddo?" He asked you.
"No, I don't. I've never seen that man in my life." You responded.
He watched the man closely as he walked up, you could see Papyrus was very tense, as if he didn't trust this man's presence. He seemed to narrow his gaze as he stared at him.
Once the man made it next to you, he looked down at you with a bright smile. "Hey sweet cheeks, I lost my number. Can I have yours?" He chuckled.
You suppressed a giggle and shook you head, "Sorry, I'm not interested." You told him gently.
"Oh really? What if I told you I had a clean black Cadillac parked outside?" He asked as he straighted his tie.
"Then my answer would still be the same. I am not interested, sir." You replied as you sat back in your chair.
You heard him hum slightly before he licked his lips slowly, "Alright, but I still think you're an absolutely gorgeous young lady." He spoke with a sly grin.
This guy seemed nicer than Austin but he still had a very creepy nature to him. Papyrus was giving him a death glare and he looked back at him with no fear. He obviously didn't have any fear of monsters, the way he looked at Papyrus made you feel like he was involved in some law enforcement. Papyrus' intimidation tactics weren't working and he seemed pretty disappointed over that.
"Well, thank you sir." You replied before turning back to Papyrus.
He tapped on your shoulder gently, when you turned back around he had a business card in his hand. "If you change your mind, just give me a call, okay hun?" He spoke with a chuckle.
You took his card reluctantly and put it onto the table, "Alright Mr..." you paused for a second to read his last name, "Smith, I'll give you a call if that happens." You replied without having any actual plans to ever call him.
He licked his lips again and nodded respectively, he smirked somewhat at Papyrus before walking the the counter to order. You looked down at his business card, it read "Noah Jonathan Smith, Head Police Detective at Mt. Ebott Police and owner of Smith's Used Cars". Under that it had his phone number and the addresses of where he worked.
"you're not planning on callin' him, right?" Papyrus asked you.
"of course not," You replied as you finished your coffee and stood up.
"i didn't like him, what is his job?" He asked.
"Apparently head detective at the police station and a used car salesman." You responded.
"he's a shady used car salesman? that explains a lot." Papyrus muttered as he chewed on the toothpick in his mouth gently.
"Well, I don't know if he's a bad one. He has some potential to be a good guy." You replied.
"he looked like some egotistical narcissist to me," Papyrus muttered.
"Well, maybe you need to take what you're trying to teach me and stop judging people by how they look and act." You responded with an impish grin.
Papyrus froze, his mouth hanging open slightly in shock. His toothpick fell out of his mouth onto the table and you chuckled at the sight at him. "I'll see you later Papyrus, it was nice talking to you." You told him as you walked to the trashcan to throw away your trash.
You put the cup and donut package inside the trash and made your way to the door in the back. You turned the doorhandle and walked inside, scattered along the light purple walls were tiny spiders. You looked over to see Muffet sitting down at a desk writing things down on a notepad.
"How do you pass health inspections?" You asked as you looked around at the spiders.
"Oh deary, these aren't your normal unsanitary spiders. These are monster spiders who wash their legs before preparing food." She replied before she let out a laugh.
"Oh, well... That's interesting." You replied as you walked to her desk.
"Sit down deary," Muffet told you as she gestured to a chair in front of her desk.
You complied and sat in the chair. "Alright, I do want the job so, I guess I just need to sign some papers?" You asked with a tilt of hour head.
"You still need to fill out a job application but, you're guaranteed to get the job." Muffet replied.
She slid over the paper and a pen, "Take your time, deary." she spoke cheerfully.
You took the paper and pen and slowly began to fill in all the information such as, your age, education, address, name, et cetera. You had forgotten how much info was needed on these things, it had been such a long time since you filled one in. After around twenty-five minutes, you slid the paper back to Muffet and she looked over it. She smiled and adjusted her glasses, "Well Miss (L/N), welcome to the job." she spoke with a nod.
A smile formed on your lips, "Thank you so much ma'am! When do I start?" you asked her curiously.
"I'll give you a few days, how about you start on Thursday?" Muffet suggested in response.
"Alright, that sounds good. Thank you very much for the opportunity and I can't wait to start working here!" You told her cheerfully.
"That's wonderful deary, see you at five AM on Thursday!" She exclaimed.
You stood up and walked to the door, "See you later ma'am!" you responded as you walked out. Papyrus had left by now and you sighed, hopefully you hadn't ruined whatever friendship was blossoming with the tall skeleton.
You were on your way to the door when a small spider crawled in front of you holding a piece of paper, you bent down and took the piece of paper. As soon as it was in your possession, the spider walked away and you looked at the paper. Written on it was "hey, why don't you call me sometime, kiddo? -papyrus" along with his phone number underneath. You smiled knowing you hadn't ruined the friendship and tucked his note into your pocket. You'd add him into your contacts as soon as possible.
You walked outside and looked around at the bustling city, it really had been a great day so far. Hopefully Austin won't show up on your walk home and ruin the good day you've been having that would be extremely disappointing after all.
You took a deep breath and began your trek home, you were going to enjoy your last day working at Harvey's as much as possible tonight. Not to mention you would finally be able to quit your loathed job. You couldn't wait to see the look on your boss's face when you slam your name tag down on his desk exclaiming loudly "I quit!". It would be hilarious and probably worthy of some internet meme.
You smiled as you walked knowing that your life was slowly improving, maybe you could even get a car again soon. That would definitely be a dream come true. But, you could only hope for now.
